...well after he finally turned around lol

Plenty of defenders face away from the play to stop a forward leading..the problem was that Petrie didnt lead it was bombed long to him..and Zac was caught in no-mans-land

Nope, worst mistake i have seen, had no idea when the ball was coming in, even when he saw Petrie moving it took him a few seconds to work out what was happening...

Since he got suspended he's gone from being the StKilda Dawson to being more like the Hawthorn Dawson.....

Hope he morphs back to the Saints...sooner rather than later....


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

At this stage he needs to be dropped for next week. We have too many better players to come in. As far as Defenders go I would prefer to see Matt Maguire given a go against Melbourne. He would need to play blind-folded to put in a worse game than Zac had today.

Matt Maguire isnt playing again this year. Did anyone else who has seen the movie The Club think zac looked like Jiohn Howard from that movie when Petrie marked the ball today when Zac wasnt looking.

59 to 36 I heard Ross say on the radio.

They took advantage of their inside 50s - we didn't.

They kicked straight - we didn't.

geez we are harsh sometimes, Zac is in our bottom six and has played above his (current) ability all year.

Its too late to drop him, he is part of the back 6 for the finals, get behind him instead.

Nah. Bugger him. He - along with Milne, Baker, Dal Santo and too many other passengers - can bloody well cop a spray for being lazy and sloppy and he like the others can bloody well pull their fingers out and do a shitload better next week.

Business end now. No f**cking about.

Max is gone.
There is only one thing worse than a player who plays poorly and that is a player who breaks down.

He does NOTHING, he does not get the ball, he does not prevent his opponent getting the ball, he no longer plays the role he was selected to do and disrupts team matchups and balance.
Oh did I mention he stuffs up interchange rotations as well.

The simple fact is when Max plays he is somewhere between a 10% and 20% chance of breaking down.
That is too high a risk to take into a Preliminary or Grand Final.
There are no second chances to reverse those results.

Love you Max, but sorry you are too big a risk.

That's because Luke Ball has someone to replace him, Zac does not.

Quite right, that is potentially the premiership winning back 6, who would have thought?

Reincarnated was correct, Zac Dawson is bloody average, a play made to look good due to the quality of the players around him
